One account by a British soldier was that it was the Patriots that fired first when the English came. Another account from the patriots say that a patriot soldier hiding in the hedges fired the first shot. Others say it was the English. Some say it was the loyalists. Each side had different stories.
No one knew then an no one knows today who fired the first shots.
